Eastern Sierra Symphony
After nearly half a century of music performances and education programs in Mono and Inyo counties, the Eastern Sierra Symphony is suspending all operations and will be on hiatus for the foreseeable future. We are grateful to our many supporters throughout the decades, including Mammoth Lakes Recreation, The Town of Mammoth Lakes, Mammoth Lakes Tourism, The Horton-Kohl Foundation, the Alpenhof Lodge and many other local and regional private donors, as well as the many local residents who housed our musicians. We also honor the hundreds of performers who have worked so tirelessly and given so much of their talents to bring music performances and education at the highest levels to the residents of the Eastern Sierra. We owe a debt of gratitude to all who have lead our orchestra, including founding Maestro Bogidar Avramov, Matilda Hofmann, Lucinda Carver, Edwin Outwater, Davíd Cubek and Heiichiro Ohyama. Most of all, we thank you, our audience, who supported us with your enthusiastic attendance through the years.
